GRANA GIL, J.; CABANA VAZQUEZ, M.; VAZQUEZ GONZALEZ, A.  and  SANCHEZ MEIZOSO, M. O.. Ocular toxicity of antimalarial drugs. An. Med. Interna (Madrid) [online]. 2002, vol.19, n.4, pp.43-45. ISSN 0212-7199.

We relate the evolution of a patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with mucocutaneous, hematological, joint and renal expression. The skin lesions were treated with Chloroquine and Hydroxichloroquine and severe ocular toxicity related with antimalarials agents was developed.  We revised the antimalarials use in Rheumatology, their utility, doses, adverse events and risk factors as cumulate doses, ideal daily doses, renal function and ophtalmological reviews recomendations.

Keywords : Hydroxychloroquine; Chloroquine; Doses; Ocular toxicity; Risks factors; Ophtalmological reviews.
